: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Ivan Luca defended his big blind from a 140,000 raise by Connor Drinan on the button. Luca check-called 125,000 on the flop but came out betting with 320,000 and the board reading

"No Sense of Fun"
Level 19
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Isaac Haxton completed the blind, and Ivan Luca peeked at his cards then raised to 140,000 in the big blind. Haxton called, and the two went heads up to a 
flop. Haxton checked and called 150,000. The turn was a 
, which both players checked. Haxton checked a third time on the 
river, and Luca softly announced an all-in wager to put Haxton at risk for over the size of the pot.
After about a three-minute tank that stretched into the new level, Haxton said something inaudible to Luca, who remained motionless. Haxton then folded.
"Show me a bluff," Haxton urged him. "It's fun to show bluffs."
Luca declined to show.
"No sense of fun," Haxton said.
